To fully understand how nanomaterials behave, one must also understand the atomic-scale deformation mechanisms that determine their structure and, therefore, their strength and function. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Drexel University and Georgia Tech have engineered a new way to observe and study these mechanisms and, in doing so, have revealed an interesting phenomenon in a well-known material, tungsten.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Drexel University and Georgia Tech have engineered a new way to observe and study these mechanisms and, in doing so, have revealed an interesting phenomenon in a well-known material, tungsten. The group is the first to observe atomic-level deformation twinning in body-centered cubic (BCC) tungsten nanocrystals.

Professor Yury Gogotsi and his research group and colleagues at Aix-Marseille University have created for the first time a 2D carbon/sulfur, C/S, nanolaminate through selectively extracting titanium (Ti) from Ti2SC MAX phase, one of a family of layered ceramics. The research team has published their results in Angewandte Chemie as a VIP paper.

Once again Drexel Engineering hosted "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," a free event for girls in grades 6-12. This year, we welcomed our largest group yet. The 180 girls who registered represented about 70 different schools in the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey areas. In addition to working with the Girl Scouts of Southeastern PA, a stronger relationship with the Dornsife helped recruit girls specifically from the West Philadelphia area.

Jamie Howard, a senior in the electrical engineering program at Drexel’s College of Engineering, had a role in the critically acclaimed film "Boyhood," directed by Richard Linklater. The film, which takes place over the course of twelve years, is a coming-of-age drama that follows a boy’s life (played by Ellar Coltrane) from age six to eighteen. Howard played the role of the main character’s stepsister, Mindy Welbrock. "Boyhood" recently won the 2015 Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture.
